“It’s a bummer that [Adult Swim] don’t have any female [showrunners] and it definitely has the vibe of a boy’s club,” said Gao. “I would like to hope that things would change, but speaking from just working on the shows I’ve worked on, I’ve had good experiences. At least on the show level, these two particular shows make an effort to hire women writers.”

Does /tv/ have any thoughts on this? Do you believe that [AS] should pick up shows based off of the creator's gender rather than the show's overall quality?

Since when has Adult Swim picked anything based on quality?

If women want shows for women, then I'm in favour of that, because it SHOULD mean that men can have shows for men, and stop having to pretend to pander to the 5% of the audience that is a girl

Everything AS picks up is because it specifically caters to Lazzo's personal taste in humor and nothing else. His style is not really something a lot of women write, essentially wacky gore filled "ironic" gross-out death and destruction stile stuff.

If a woman were to make up a new Mr Pickles or Superjail then yea it might be made.

here we go again. [as] will definitely bow out and eschew merit to fill a diversity quota, effectively ruining the only slightly alternative comedy source on mainstream tv.

Color me surprised.
Why do these women want to push their agenda on loser NEETs who are either intoxicated, high, or too stupid to care about this shit?
Why not aim at a demographic who will listen and stop ruining shows aimed for retards who are only watching to laugh?
Seriously.

It's such a shame more PEOPLE LIKE ME aren't hired at this successful place, it sure feels like it's NOT ENOUGH OF MY KIND at this place.

Ps. Hire me to run your shit.

Just an opinion bro. Why are you getting so mad? This is about equality. The equality of me coming into your successful business and co-opting it to suit me. That's what equality is.
>>
Adult Swim's already limping, and it's "Boys Club" attitude is really the only thing that keeps it going, I don't think changing that would be a great idea
I don't think there's a very large audience of women who would watch a bunch of comedy cartoons and bad live action shows at 1 in the morning if there were more female writers on staff
>>
>>86265779
Wow, I guess they should have hired Brett Gelman's wife to do a show then
>>
>One thing that really pisses me off is when people talk about how hiring writers should be a meritocracy. The people who say that have never ever thought about what that actually means and where that meritocracy comes from. Overwhelmingly, the person who is deciding who is the funniest is going to be a white guy, usually in his 30s or 40s who for sure grew up middle class or upper middle class. Someone like that is going to have very specific life experience and a specific sense of humor.

>pandering to SJWs

has this ever worked?
they usually find a small "flaw" and boycott it anyway, meanwhile you alienated your original audience in the process

one of the biggest CN shows right now is almost completely female.


if women, blacks, hispanics, etc want more content created by them in entertainment media. the they should just go ahead and make their own damn content.

tyler perry might make awful movies. at lease he is making his own movies. instead of sitting around on the internet and crying for whitey to give him movies.

I noticed something deeply troubling with Rick and Morty, all the people who direct the episodes are men.

I mean not ONE episode has been directed by a woman. What's with that? Shouldn't half of the directors for Rick and Morty be women?
>>
>>86269988
Yeah, a good sense of humor. Women aren't fucking funny and so they can go and make their own shitty comedy shows about queefs and shopping if they like, don't fuck up things men made that are actually funny.
>>
>>86270291
The animation department would be a better place for women than the writers room of a fucking comedy, but grinding out toonimations is "grunt work."

Who even says we need women writers? mostly men watch adult swim most likely. Men know what the good shit is, whats the point of forcing women to be involved?

(((progressives))) believe in proportional demographic representation.

women should be half of everything.

if you had 10 writers. they would want.

because they see men having fun and they think its their job to either:

Stop them from having fun

or

Correct them into having the "Right" kind of fun

The entire concept of being liberal and letting people do their thing is alien to feminists.

Their entire goal in life is to find where and what men are doing without them and shoving their way in to "prove" that they're just as good as men despite their entire ideology being based on copying what men are already doing.
